CONTEST SCHEDULE
VOTING PERIOD: Saturday, Feb 25th - Friday, March 10th, 11:59 PM US Central Standard Time
WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Saturday, March 11th, shortly after midnight or early morning.
JUDGING
Each entrant must vote on every collaborative story, not just submit one vote per group. Though each entry is written by two people, treat it as one collective item when judging (ie, vote on the story as a whole, not as two separate parts.)〰️Voting is open to all Legendfirians! Every contestant is REQUIRED to vote.
〰️Unless excused for serious reasons, you must vote on all entries. You will receive reminders of this requirement before the end of the voting period. If you do not vote on ALL entries, your entry will be disqualified.
〰️You may vote for yourself to maintain your anonymity. This vote will not count toward the final score.
〰️All entries must have the same number of votes for each vote to count. For example, if over half the entries receive 7 votes, we will set the final vote requirement to 7 votes per entry.
Points for voting:
1. Critique each entry according to the following questions. Answer them as thoroughly as possible. Two sentences minimum per question. See the Resources below if you need help critiquing.
*Technical Writing Elements: Which elements were technically sound in this entry? What still needs work? Consider story structure, SPaG, pacing, etc.
*Artistic writing elements: What appealed to me in this entry? What might benefit from revision? (Consider things like appropriate word choice, metaphor, imagery, uniqueness, etc.)
*Coherence: How well did the exchange of letters set the stage for you? Was the plot/setting well established, was the exchange believable, how coherent was the communication as a whole? How effective were the letters in communicating the story?
2. Assign each area a numerical value: Rate each entry from 1 to 5, with five being the most favorable.
3. Add your scores you allotted to each area and divide by 3 to get an average score. For example: 3.5 + 3 + 4 = 3.5 (The contest host will collect all the averaged scores for each entry and tally the overall average to determine the winners.)
